Watching Fire I see you dancing circles a rage of flames beneath smoke raw emotions curling covered by thick grey gauze allowing me to see bits of embers under cover I am drawn to this heat that passion does provide its elements of invite aroused I watch with pleasure not driven away by fear of alarm reaching towards the slow burn to stir the glow closer with fingers unable to withdraw in blazing glory and understand such mastery of destruction the beauty to engage among the blue of fuel or left alone in ash knowing when the smoke clears what could be left is fire "Tough times never last...tough people do." carol gardner |

Sounds like you best get some dark glasses or you just might burst into flame. I thought the warm wether was just ariving there,was I wrong. Live like it's your last day... |

Hmmmmm Funny thing . . . Just the other day I loaded my new firey pic'. Are we sharing a wavelength? Burning the same candle? Maybe it's the solar flares? Haloween spooky, h. Love the poem, of course! e |
